Sheraton Krabi Beach Resort, Krabi, Thailand, 30-Apr-2011

10:45 AM
Protocol: Incidental
Comments: Another day lounging around at the resort, keeping an eye on the birds around the mangrove gardens.
Weather: hot, cloudy, sunny intervals.
16 species

Javan Pond-Heron X
Brahminy Kite 3 , possibly two males.
White-breasted Waterhen X
Spotted Dove X
Peaceful Dove X

Greater Coucal 2 seen after hearing a deep, almost gibbon-like sound, which I decided had to be made by these handsome birds as there was nothing else about. A life-tick!

Common Iora X
Large-billed Crow X
Pacific Swallow X
Red-whiskered Bulbul 2 apparently feeding on some fruit.
Common Tailorbird X

Asian Brown Flycatcher 2 probably of this species. Definitely a fly-catcher but difficult to pin down to species. The bird was 'long', i.e., primary projection almost to tail, big dark eye, pale eye ring; apparently dark bill & legs, darker edge to primaries otherwise plain buff/grey, plain & pale underside. I went for Asian Brown, Fulvous-Chester Jungle or non-breeding Red-Throated. There were apparently two, with one looking as though it was feeding the other (adult feeding a juvenile bird?). Both were active amongst a few trees before drifting out of the resort's gardens.

Oriental Magpie-Robin X
Common Myna X
Olive-backed Sunbird X
Tree Sparrow X
